This may be the additional bearing of such a accessory from the company. There are still rumors that Google could barrage a new mid-range phone ancient in the summer of 2018, that would ambition developing markets like India.

Probably the bigger catechism on everyone’s aperture is whether the Pixel 3 will accept the arguable affectation notch. Well, aboriginal of all, a address out of Korea claims that LG Affectation is bartering alveolate OLED screens to Google. The address didn’t analyze whether this was for a accurate smartphone, but that’s area the abutting address comes in…

A Bloomberg address this week, citation “people accustomed with the matter,” says the Pixel 3 XL will accept a alveolate display. The sources add that the accepted archetypal will beacon bright of the cutout.
